Shortlisting Process

The shortlisting pack will be circulated to the selection panel via the NextCloud file sharing service. Those with a Maths account should log in using their Maths credentials. Panel members external to the Department will be provided with a link and password to access the files by the Recruitment Team.

In addition to the application materials, a Shortlisting Pack including the Guidance for Appointment for Associate Professors, Briefing on Unconscious Bias and Introduction to Conflicts of Interest will be circulated to all panel members. Panel members are reminded that they must declare any conflicts of interest by emailing these to the Recruitment Team prior to the shortlisting meeting.

The recommended structure for the shortlisting meeting is as follows;

A declaration of Conflicts of Interest (for the start of the meeting);
Which candidates best meet the selection criteria and should be interviewed;
Confirmation of the selection methods to be used;
The names (and rank order) of reserve candidates;
What information reserve candidates should receive;
Whether all other candidates should be stood down;
If the committee is content with the gender split of the shortlist;
A member of HR will attend the shortlisting meeting and take notes on the discussion held. This will the specifics relating to the interview arrangements.
